                             JUDGMENT

S.R.Bannurmath, C.J.

This public interest litigation is filed seeking issue of a

writ of mandamus directing the first respondent State to take

immediate and effective steps to recover possession of the forest

land leased out to 4th respondent herein as per Ext.P1.

2. When the matter is taken up today, learned counsel

for the petitioner submits that the State has already taken steps for

taking possession of the land in question on 15.7.2007 itself and as

such the writ petition has become infructuous.

Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous.
